"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

THERAPY WITH GOD


I would not miss my sessions with Him. There was a very long season what I thought was quality time with the Lord which consisted of 'throwing up' quick prayers to Him.

Not saying I do not continue to struggle Big time with issues, I still do. But, I have changed. Become more sincere, serious and realize the respect that is due my Lord.

As I had become serious with my 'earthly therapy,' I have now become serious with my 'heavenly therapy' as well. Never missing a session!

Both sessions, earthly and heavenly, are so very beneficial and vital and intertwine towards healing and His ultimate goal. Both, can be ever so painful as well. There is never a set time for my therapy with God. I can come any time.

So, daily I have therapy with God....

By....

Reading His Word. Communing with Him. Asking Him to reveal to me areas I need to see and work on....

I try to.....

Listen, wait, watch, expect, depend....

He knows I....

Cry, hurt, question....

In addition to being my Wonderful Counselor....

He is my closest Friend (and He knows how much I need that) and my Comforter....

One day I am praying that I will fall in love with Him!

I have had so many mixed messages to what love really is from my parents and then being sexually abused, this area is very difficult for me to understand and accept. That is why I struggle with PP (people pleasing) and with God, as I feel I need to earn others love and acceptance.

He brings to remembrance the tools I have learned in 'earthly therapy' and helping me to apply them. Sometimes more successful than others.

But, He is oh so very patient to walk me through the pain! He knows my struggles, especially with accepting His love.

How is your therapy with God going?

    I KNOW THE MENTION OF PRAYER AND JESUS CAUSES ALOT OF PEOPLE TO NOT COME BACK BUT MY LOYALTY IS WITH THE LORD NOT THEM...THIS LIFE IS JUST A VAPOR IN COMPARASION TO ETERNITY.

  9. I love this post. Love the idea of prayer and communion as "heavenly therapy." Something else struck me. The way you referred to people pleasing as PP. Reminded me of a word I used as a kid, which kind of fits, if you know what I mean. Hugs.

  14. You remind me here that we do not have a God who doesn't understand us, but we have a God in the Lord Jesus Christ who lived this life, who was tempted in every way we are tempted, who experienced the whole gamut of the human condition, and who loves us beyond our comprehension. Thank you for that reminder.

  17. My therapy with God is on hold. I struggle so much in my relationship with Him. But it is encouraging to read that you are pressing forward...

  18. JBR,

    I too have been asking for that romantic relationship with God as of lately instead of trying to seek it from my hubby! God can truly fill our cups to overflowing if we just seek His goodness and love each and every day and surrender our will and hearts to Him.

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

  19. I'm just so grateful that He is willing to wait during times when I don't feel like conversing with Him. And that He is always faithful and patient with me. God bless.
